Shintaido has its roots from the first forms of karate, that were brought in 1922 from Okinawa to Tokyo. Martial Arts were enclosed within the Asian continent however gained major popularity after World War 2 when they were acquired by the Americans stationed in Japan. To simplify the development of Shintaido, a certain karate master named Aoki, looked for the heritage of karate and along with the contemplation of the mind and body slowly developed Shintaido into what it is today.
Shintaido in the 21th Century
My Experiences
Throughout WWW, I had the opportunity to learn a variety of martial arts. I am sure Shintaido was also part of it and was hidden within the process of learning. I'm quite glad that I chose this course because I got the opportunity to learn different ways to defend myself and counteract my opponents attacks. The overall learning period was tiring and quite exhausting because of its strong intensity. It was quite unfortunate however that I missed two days of martial art training as I'm sure they would continue to widen my knowledge about the different techniques of defending and attacking.
I decided to close this blog since I think it served its purpose (whatever that was). I want to enjoy my own keiko for the duration and not worry about or try to define what it all means (thanks Bill)....
